English: The “Maison Carrée” at Nîmes, France, is one of the best preserved temples to be found anywhere in the territory of the former Roman Empire. It was built around 19 BC by Marcus Vispanius Agrippa who was also the original patron of the Pantheon in Rome. It was dedicated to his two sons, Caius Caesar and Lucius Caesar, adopted heirs of Augustus who both died young.
